For anyone that has done thier own living quarters......
I know when we were trying to come up with ideas on doing our living quarters we looked forever trying to find some pictures of some living quarters that others have done to get ideas for ours. Needless to say the pictures were few and far between.
So I thought that it would be nice to start an area where we can post pictures of our living quarters that we have done. The link for my pictures is listed below.

OH that turned out cute! Country cabin feel! Mine isn't really a living area, just a small tack/dressing room turned into my camping hideaway at night. I add fold down shelves up in the nose so I can put my portable DVD player and books on at night. Got to watch my Clint Eastwood movies when the campfire burns down for the night. My link is below in my signature.............

Thanks for the compliment on our stairs (ladder). We were trying to figure out something different that had a slope to it that would make it easier for me to get into the bed. (I am only 5'2" and the gooseneck comes to my chest. :0) But we also did not want to take up alot of floor space.
We managed to get the walk through door bolted in last night. So the next step is getting the lock put in. Then we can start putting the v-board back up.
It is kind of disappointing when you have it looking so nice then you have to take it completely apart to add a door then redo it all over again.
I was wondering how long it would take my husband to actually get it done. But I was really suprized that he has it in already and we just got it Saturday. That is a record for him. But now he says that I have to get the window screens done just as fast. Problem is... I have not even started on them. ;)
Also, I looked at the pictures of your living quarters and that looks really good. The first trailer we had was almost just like that. It had the little short wall for the saddles and that corner shelve. Needless to say we had high hopes on it but never did nothing to it. It was already insulated and had material on the ceiling. I do mean fabric on the ceiling. We sold it just like we bought it. ;) Then purchased our Sundowner.
Keep your eye out for new pictures after this weekend. 4/26/08.

I love to look at different DIY layouts. I don't want the cookie cutter look, I want what suits my needs.
